For those who don't want to read the whole thing, just cut to the chase by scrolling down to the last page of the "decision." It says it all. Yikes!

I looked for Scrappleface in the source... but it was not there. Wacky people.

The solution is to dump public schools and their "tenured" teachers. Sell the old schools to private businessmen. Let them hire who they want and allow them to be competitive. Then issue vouchers to parents to choose which schools they want.

I think a year or so ago James Dobson said that he would recommend that parents in california seriously consider withdrawing their kids out of govt schools. I think this court ruling is one more reason to support that point of view.

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, I'd like to call attention to this article: Dad, I Got a 'C' in Sex, which discusses this ruling in terms of Natural Law.

I think it important because it's part of a larger trend to divorce law from its grounding in morality, even though the law itself speaks of certain acts being malum in se. When the law is stripped of its moral backing, it becomes whatever you can get a legislature to pass (or, these days a judicial activist to rule). And that is precisely how the Nazi regime began the persecution of Jews: all nice and legal by means of the Nuremberg Laws, but utterly immoral.
